It’s doable solo, especially on easier modes, but I mostly play with my one friend, games support up to 3 players. They’re releasing a big rebalance and change to how the lobby works in a month or two. It’s not a huge in depth game and it’s very light on lore but I have a blast playing it

Ohmy, where have I been? Never heard of Firebreak! Thank you!

Edit: Multiplayer...that's why it wasn't on my radar.

No love for FBC: Firebreak?

I do not have any solid information on Control 2

Yeah, the story, atmosphere, and world building is why I finished the game. I'm looking at the TTRPG Triangle Agency. Visually, it shares some atmospheric characteristics to Control.

Easily one of the best games of the 2010s. If you have any interest in supernatural fiction (eg SCPs, X-Files, etc) and physics based action shooters, give it a shot.

What an absolute steal! Control is worth every penny, even at full price. Don't skip this one.

Going against the grain, I found this game dull with simple mechanics that didn't upgrade. Gave it five hours of pistol/telekinesis combo. Plus wandering around the mostly dry office building setting - I gave up. The infected? zones had nice graphics but that was a pretty minor part of the game.

The brutalist architecture, running around making a mess of all the ordered offices, telekinesis! Awesome vibes. The DLCs weren't my cup of tea though.

What's the latest on the Control sequel? Feel like I heard rumblings about it some years back.

Control and Alan Wake are the only reason I even *have* a favorite game studio, and probably the only one I'd actually do a pre-order with just to support development.

Id buy them both again if I could
